That is one vile-shaped, tragically unfashionable bass guitar!
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

The headstock is probably too close, but the rest of it is definitely NOT a Rick. I kind of like it. Image

The headstock is really the only part that could be considered rick-esque, but this is enough to have it considered a faker, considering it is a trademark.

It looks like my Pedulla Buzz and my Rickenbacker basses were fooling around late at night and had a really ugly baby.....

It looks like they took a RIC and put it through one of those goofy distortion photo programs.
